A UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLICATION NOVEMBER 1971 I-I UU-/I I- December 27, 1971 Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data The Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, announced today that during November 1971, seasonally adjusted exports, excluding Department of Defense (DOD) Military Assistance Program Grant-Aid shipments, amounted to $3,159.7 million and that seasonally ad- justed general imports for November amounted to $3,386.9 million.' Comparable seasonally adjusted totals for October were $2,709.9 million for exports and $3,531.3 million for imports. Based on seasonally adjusted figures, a merchandise trade deficit of $227.2 million was recorded for November. For the 11 months January to November 1971, a deficit of $1,719.3 million was recorded on a seasonally adjusted basis. The Bureau noted that the export and import figures for November reflect the influence of dock strikes. Ports were idled by dock strikes on the U.S. west coast from July 1 until about the second week in October while most U.S. east and gulf coast ports were similarly affected beginning October I and continuing into November. The Bureau, however, does nothaveadequate information to enable it to specifically measure the influence of the strikes on the statistics. For thefirst 11months of 1971, exports on a seasonally adjusted basis were at an annual rate of $43,372 million, about 2 percent above the calendar year 1970 total of $42,659 million. Imports were at an annual rate of $45,247 million, about 13 percent above the calendar year 1970 total of $39,952 million. During the 4-month period August-November 1971, seasonally adjusted ex- ports averaged $3,514.5 million per month, a level about 3 percent below the $3,615.0 million average reported for the preceding 4-month period, April-July 1971. Imports averaged $3,775.2 million per month during the current 4-month period, about 3 percent below the $3,891.8 million average reported for the preceding 4-month period. Seasonally adjusted export and import totals for selected Schedule A and B commodity sections and divisions are shown in tables 4 and 5. (Unlike the overall total, the commodity components for exports exclude foreign merchandise and include DOD Military Assistance Program Grant-Aid shipments.) Exports, unadjusted for seasonal change and ex- cluding Military Assistance Program Grant-Aid shipments, increased from $2,827.8 million in October to $3,220.7 million in November. With Military As- sistance Program Grant-Aid shipments included, November exports were valued at $3,263.9 million as compared to $2,893.2 million in October. Unadjusted general imports were valued at $3,530.5 million in November and $3,471.6 million in October. IAdjusted for seasonal and working-day variation, but not for price level. 2Cumulations of data over at least 3- or 4-month periods are desirable to identify underlying trends. Month-to-month changes in exports, imports, and similar series often reflect primarily irregular movements. Recent month-to-month per- cent changes in the overall seasonally adjusted export and import series are presented in the following table with aver- age percent month-to-month rise and decline over longer periods shown for comparison. The average rise and decline fig- ures exclude percentage changes for (1) the periods January-May 1965 and December 1968-March 1969 because of abnormalities in the data due to effects of strikes and (2) periods when negligible changes (zero percent) in the level of exports/imports occurred: Month-to-month Average monthly rates of change Series Average Average 4 months 12 months Oct.-Nov.
